I don't know. I read the first book and was pretty sure I wanted to read the rest. The book that really stood out for me though was Dead Beat.

Dresden has a lot of the elements I enjoy: Magic, "creatures", wit, humor, flawed but likable/lovable characters... It is also very well written and "believable". I can easily picture Harry fighting the demon in the rain. As for Ghost Story, it did feel different and it was not my favorite, but I see it as the transitional point I beleive it is supposed to be in the overall story. I am very much looking forward to Cold Days. I will probably reread Ghost Story, and maybe even Changes, in preparation of its release. |

I'll stipulate that I probably wouldn't *read* these novels, but consume them as audiobooks. Most of my fantasy consumption these days is audio, where I look for "easy listening"--novels without particularly elevated language or complex ideas, and plots where I can fill in the blanks easily enough should I nod off and not feel like backtracking. |

I've decided to avoid any sample chapters this time around. I read the samples from Ghost Story, and reading through them once the book was out dimmed my initial enthusiasm a bit.

So come on in to our buy a copy of Cold Days in ePub group as it'll be cheaper due to the group purchase and the fact that it's the US and won't be more then $14.99.
